The US release date needs to be moved up 1 week it makes no sense at all for this

game to come out 1 week after Heroes Over Europe in the US. You got 2 games fighting for a very niche market, and Birds of Prey coming a week behind Heroes Over Europe puts it at a totally unnessary disadvantage.

I am only going to buy one of these games. I am leaning towards Heroes over Europe, but Brids of Prey could improve its chance for my $50 if it was releaseing on the same day as Heroes Over Europe.

You guys should very seriously consider moving the US release date up a week so you are not at a competetive disadvantage with Heroes Over Europe.

I think the release date should be moved up 5 weeks

If youre gonna buy one, you probably check out the games.
Check out wich game is nicer in your opinion.
But aperantly you cant wait and just buy a game blindly.

1 week after another game is nothing, if youre smart you check out a game and then decide wich one you buy, not buying a game blindly when you know there are 2 games coming out after each other.

actually it was , you have to be a complete dumbass to think a game with no demo or fanbase can compete with one that does and plays better

Actually no it wasn't.

Personal attacks are never appropriate on a forum. Much less on a developers official forum.

If he is uninformed, then feel free to inform him. Your comment didn't do anything beneficial at all, beyond showing the quality of person that you are.

Yeah I would rather buy BoP, which I am

But Heroes over Europe will be a terrible game in my opinion. I played a bit of the Pacific one, and thought that the limited controls and just the game was boring, really I think those games were made for little children to enjoy.

BoP is a much more mature and accurate game to play if you really like WW2 flight sims and like the big variety of planes and controls. Heros over Europe will never stand up against BoP in sales, and if anything the later release will just make the BoP sales go up because once people buy Heroes over Europe, and realized that it's such a horrible game, they'll take it back and get BoP with their friends.

I am going to ignore all the attacks, and insults.

I will just say the release date does make a difference. I, and many other people like to buy games on the release date. There is just something extra special about going into a store on release day and buying a game. A large chunk of most games sales happen within the first week. So a lot of others gamers feel this way too.

All I am saying is that Birds of Prey would improve its chances to get my $50 if it released on the same day instead of a week behind Heroes Over Europe.
